Update #1: General Idea

• In a brief description, describe about this application (what  is it all about?)

Reproductive cloning is when scientists create an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal through their somatic cell nuclear transfer. In short, from the DNA of a human/animal we can generate a new living object identical to where the DNA has been taken from.

• What are some benefits of this application?

There are several type of benefits from reproductive cloning, for example, reproductive cloning can give genetically related children for people who cannot be helped by other fertility treatments, it would also enable gay men to raise kids that do not have genes resulting from an egg donor and lesbians to have children without the DNAs from the donor’s sperm, loved ones that has passed away could be identically recreated by reproductive cloning. Reproductive cloning should be allowed for people who are willing to give their DNA.

•  What are some future improvements, which still need to be done to make this application perfect (limitations)? 

The main issue on cloning will be the technology, it is risky and it has a chance to fail. For example, Dolly the famous clone is a sheep that unfortunately, died in a young age due to a lung disease that is unusual in her age that time, she was a clone from an adult somatic cell.

• What issues (social, economic, ethical, political or cultural) are currently related to the use of this application worldwide?

Cloning is a major topic when it comes to ethical debate, reports, books and plenty of articles. Commentators have argued about how people’s agreement to cloning is a “yuk reaction”, which is not a controversial argument. Liberals have argues that cloning might be not as desirable, however, we should not stop people for doing what they want. Another issue that cloning includes is social issues. This frequently focuses on human clones in relations of both the convenience of cloning technology and the combination of clones into civilization. It has gained questions of costs and the people who are allowed to access. The prime social matter is that cloning repudiates a person’s right to independence and overlooks the possible psychological consequences of such a parentless and de-customized self.
